They also played their 1st match against Asda here (14-10 victory) the ground was also the 1st home of Llanelli RFC.<br /><br />The training session was a good run out and reasonably attended.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friends Theater Donation:</span><br />The Friendship theater group held a presentation evening to present cheques to the various community groups they wished to support for the year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Star community Awards Night:</span><br />Gwilym Lewis was nominated as Coach of the Year in the Llanelli Star Community Awards.

Therefore from now on it will feature an end of season review with an emphasis on off field bits n bobs. Remember that every match is reviewed on the match report blog and on the web site both season by season and in the history section. As ever all comments and additions are welcome.<br /><br />Played 8 matches losing only away to Gwlad. Retained the Dai Spriggs Cup and Cefenithin Cup. 1st season didn't play the Swansea Gladiators. New kit provided by Tinopolis tv company.<br />Captain Simon Jenkins<br /><br />The season began slowly and disappointingly. Fixtures were cancelled at Betws and Bynea. In November Gwilym was due to go on social work placement and with a subsequent change of job likely photos were taken of his <strong>last training session</strong> in charge. With staffing issues and changes of policy it eventually transpired that this would be the last training session held at Parc y Scarlets (to date anyway).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J1VCcfAI/AAAAAAAAE5Y/ptj5nQcmVSs/s1600/Photo+0023.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J1VCcfAI/AAAAAAAAE5Y/ptj5nQcmVSs/s320/Photo+0023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502776237734263810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J1Hb4CZI/AAAAAAAAE5Q/2GU_rX9h97s/s1600/Photo+0022.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J1Hb4CZI/AAAAAAAAE5Q/2GU_rX9h97s/s320/Photo+0022.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502776234082830738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J08LhofI/AAAAAAAAE5I/j0Tu0KZBkvU/s1600/Photo+0024.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J08LhofI/AAAAAAAAE5I/j0Tu0KZBkvU/s320/Photo+0024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502776231061463538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J0k-KaQI/AAAAAAAAE5A/BNffw1RJQrQ/s1600/Photo+0020.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J0k-KaQI/AAAAAAAAE5A/BNffw1RJQrQ/s320/Photo+0020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502776224831400194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J0PUI9MI/AAAAAAAAE44/gaK0Sq5d6bA/s1600/Photo+0019.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3J0PUI9MI/AAAAAAAAE44/gaK0Sq5d6bA/s320/Photo+0019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502776219017999554" border="0" /></a><br />Luckily it was a well attended session and so the team finished on a high.<br /><br />It was decided to arrange a <strong>Halloween party</strong> but with a series of cock ups the intended decoration of the Cambrian didn’t come about.

He was joint top try scorer with Curtis Ramcke (7) and also kicked 8 conversions.<br />60 tries were scored in total (7 and half per game) helping make up a total of 282 with 16 conversions.<br /><br />So anyway <strong>presentation night</strong> was a good one:<br /><br /><strong>Who won what at the 2010 Bolas </strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong>The Llanelli Warriors celebrated their 15th season with their annual presentation night at the weekend. The integrated side who include players with learning difficulties were celebrating a very successful season where they lost just once. Accordingly the presentation night was a well attended high spirited affair with plenty of contenders for the various awards.Team Captain Simon Jenkins picked up two awards; Top Points Scorer demonstrated that he had led from the front and Players’ Player indicated a massive vote of confidence from his team mates.Most Improved Player was Nathan Lawson who proved an effective member of a competitive back row whilst Jason Bennett was rewarded for all the advice and support he had given throughout the season with the Sportsman trophy.After presentations to the Warriors ever popular linesman Lewis Jones and the Cambrian pub, No 8 Robert Hughes was named Warriors Player of the Year 2009-10. An effective loose player who also did well at line outs Robert picked up the most Man of the Match awards across the season and the team sometimes struggled without his presence and so he was a deserving recipient of the club’s prestigious Golden Bola award.Looking forward to next season the club was invigorated by a number of new players coming through that have boosted resources both on and off the field. The club have already announced a number of exciting fixtures including hosting a similar team from Bradford, England whilst ambitious plans to establish their own ground are now underway.Having now achieved 15 years worth of experience the team look ready to move up a level for the next 15.A very successful and enjoyable presentation evening held back at the Cambrian. Arse backwards for much of it, plenty of mistakes but still good fun and everybody seemed happy – a typical Warriors event then.A very successful sell off of the reappearing kit was 1st which at least seemed to stop Big Rhyd moaning, special thanks to Mike who chucked in extra money and Gary James who took it on himself to buy one for Burry Ports cabinet.Then whilst we waited for the daytrippers (Killer, Pretty Polly & Jumpin’) to get back from the beach everyone tucked into food, some last minute rediscovering and borrowing of trophies we finally got the awards under way…With club chairman Dai Newson having had to go to bingo Captain Simon Jenkins presented medals to all who had played 3 games, except Richard Hapus who somehow got missed and wasn’t hapus about it. (to be fair Richard played every game, scored twice and picked up a Man of the Match award so he shouldn’t have been forgotten) (who said wishful thinking). Deano got the first chant of the night and Killer had a mini pwdi just to prove he could still do them.The Warriors resident superstar Lewi Jones gave out the next few awards, Bloc shedding a tear as he picked up Sportsman, Nathan obviously very pleased to pick up Most Improved and Simon a very popular Players’ Player.Councillor Winston Lemon came up to present Player of the Year and Rhydain Williams was a VERY happy stand in to collect on behalf of Rob Hughes who was unfortunately working – whether Rob would have been as pleased is actually doubtful and it took a fair effort to get the Golden Bola back off him later.And that was it for another seasonOops – present Lewi with a medal for the 4 games he turned up for (there’s a trophy for if he only turns up for 3 next year)<br /><br />Oops – didn’t mention the 2-4-1 Ashleys when mentioning new players in the season review,<br /><br />Oops – forgot to give out Top Points Scorer to Simon Jenkins<br /><br />WAIT – Simon DOES now want to give a speech even though he had turned down the chance earlier<br /><br />WAIT – Jason won’t do ‘the roof is on fire’ but will give a song (He ain’t heavy)<br /><br />WAIT – to huge encouragement not to retire Jason WILL do the roof is on fireAnd that………….was that!<br />Just remained to have a few pints and lots of talk of the next season, Scotland, e**lish teams, new grounds, fund raising, committees, bands etc etc.There was a Williams family led move to the bucket and spade and talk of going into town but at this point your correspondent headed for home to reflect on another cracking Warriors event.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/TF3GE-Qul6I/AAAAAAAAE4g/H-kB4zz221c/s1600/34867_440532389975_586919975_5957292_7625277_n.jpg"><img style="display: block;

rugby Trade Fair and an invite blagged for a Warriors delegation. Short notice meant there wasn't much chance to choose fairly so Gwilym Lewis (Sec/player/coach), Lee Rowlands (Team Manager), Jon Kerr (Captain), John Horwood (Most capped player), Dai Newson (Chairman) and Lewis Jones (Rugby personality) were selected for the job of going to London and spreading the word. Nusiance pulled out due to SHOPPING commitments!!!<br /><br />it was an early start as we picked the boys up, nothing like seeing Lewi leering up at you on a cold dark morning. We drove up to llundain without too much issue although the sat nav let us down at the crucial moments (ie in London). John spotted where we were supposed to be an in very little time we had signed in and blagged our 1st freebies of the day.</div><br /><div>We went on the 2nd day which was a bit of a shame as most of the big events had obviously taken place the day before and there were much fewer reps about generally. We did get to meet/spot Graham price, Martin bayfield, Dan Lyle, Gareth Rees and some other types, play some rugby skill games, check out the latest in kit n stuff and bag a few freebies. We spoke to some nice kit people and the </div></div>folks at wooden spoon but I don't know of anything will come of it.</div><br /><div>We also got to see a bit of London inc Houses of Parliment, the london Eye and a very cold looking Scottish piper. Most important we tried to get the concept of people with learning difficulties playing rugby over to some more people - blydi long day tho!</div><div> </div><div>review <a href="http://internationalrugbynews.co.uk/news/expo-declared-a-resounding-success.html">HERE</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.llanelliwarriors.co.uk</div>Llanelli Warriors match bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09150201147965875129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19465043.post-50654986542094207902008-06-15T07:53:00.000-07:002008-12-13T04:55:30.630-08:005th Annual Golden Bola Awards (2008)<div align="center">The 5th Annual Golden Bola awards night was held at the Cambrian in Seaside on June 7th 2008.

CriSp the ref tackling Jack, Juice brushing off Gwilym, Simon Tarw 'lomu'ing late comer Hoover, Bloc flying about on the wing like a young Ieuan Evans (and scoring 2 tries), Duw Duw munching Gwilym any time he went near a ruck, James Tew sporting a selection of erotic rugby wear and using every inch (and a few extra) of the field to score a try, Killer & Tarw having several lovers tiffs and pwdis, Darren Petticoat skinning Tarw, Jack ripping his trousers, Simon thinking you have to hit the post to score a conversion and Moleys 'worse than CriSps' reffing. All rounded off by dumping birthday boy Tony in the mud and 'accidently' bloodying his nose - quite what Roy the Spy from the Market team made of it all one can only imagine. The final score was (probaly) 51 all with Killer, Conan and Bloc top scorers for the Uni whilst Simon got most of the Warriors points.<br />Over at the pub (on the pond) Bloc kept us entertained with his best chat up lines whilst Al warmed ice cubes for the lime tray in the crack of Bloc cheeks.<br />Finally it was home time and the Warriors trekked off into the sunset ready for the fixture for real later in the season...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center">Warriors: Big Al, Deano, Juice, Simon Tarw, Jumpin' John, Roger Birthdays, Dai Posh, James Duw Duw, Andrew John, James tew (Meredith), Tony Wheredyatakeher, Lee Mole (CriSp) Jason 2 Guns</p><p align="center">Swansea University: Jack, Tom, Hoover, Pieface, Chabal, Conan, Gwilym Lulu, Meredith (James Tew), Bloc, Rich Hapus, Killer, Darren Petticoat, Colin Campese<br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hqmY_2cL_Vw/R5-qBISf5FI/AAAAAAAAA18/l6bEh9ysN48/s1600-h/P1010031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161030634371540050" style="DISPLAY: block;

The weather was a great taster for Scotland and it was a releif to finally get underway at 11am. Picked Gareth from <a href="http://www.gwladrugby.com/">Gwlad</a> up in Newport without to much problem but the other Warriors debutant; Owain (Gwilym's brother) looked distinctly frozen after waiting about 6 hours in Manchester. The weather provided no real problems on the way up and the Grand Slam DVDs (the 05 and the Windsor Davies version) provided most of the entertainment. Got to Hawick, met Henry and checked in at the <a href="http://www.elmhouse-hawick.fsnet.co.uk/">Elm House Hotel</a>. Quick pint in bar and then out to the town. Find our hotel is in the prefect place - opposite the two main pubs and near a cash point. Louie picks the 1st pub - the Imperial. A stranger tells us to head tp Stampers instead cos it's got a quiz night, QUIZ NIGHT!!?? we are rugby Warriors from the Valleys, we don't want a quiz night, sensing our tastes may be more base he informs us that said quiz night will have plenty of woman at which we scoff. The Imperial is dead apart from some very drunk people one of whom was most unsociable, Stampers however had the most boucing quiz night ever with more music than questions and half of <a href="http://www.glynneath.gov.uk/clubs/rugby/">Glynneath RFC </a>present. A quiet night was thus held, before finding that our hotel also had the benfit of a local kebab shop in the close vacinity, bargin. </div><div align="left"><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156931497849882002" style="DISPLAY: block;

As well as visiting the 90 year old press room at the very top of the Club, we saw the Ned Haig room, devoted to the Club's invention of 7s and visited the 'long bar' with the various trophies and jerseys that reflect the history of the famous club. We also got a cup of tea, a Bill Mclaren video and some stories.<br />We watch Dai Ed and Roger run around the pitch (punishment from kangerroo Court) and pose for photos.

The games back on!! sort off. Many of the Select XV have been informed the match is off but they still have a XV and with the ground having warmed a little we are able to play touch rugby. It is a very relaxed match but the boys did well and managed to keep the Select frustrated (Britsh Lion and all) when they did try and score. A full report is available (<a href="http://llanelliwarriorsmatchreports.blogspot.com/2007/02/newyddion-news.html">Cliciwch</a>)<br /><br />After the match we have more pipers piping, local musicians, presentations, Henry's variuos friends (Welsh and Scottish), kangeroo court, us singing, them singing, beer etc etc<br />a fantastic welcome and a lot of fun! Thanks to Henry's ability at a raffle Chris Bonar nearly wins 3 times instead of just once while Mal the Driver wins the auction for a signed photo of the Welsh team. We get treated to the Jed Forest song to finish and blydi good it is too (not as good as the Hawick's effort acording to Henry)<br /><br />Back to Hawick, the Imperial (strange sing song) and Diesels the local night spot.

Like a military disaster from the Victorian age (Charge of the light Brigade - sensible by comparison) we struggled along trying to keep stragglers with the main group, resist enemy movments and fight off the bitter cold. One poor casualty (no names mentioned) has managed to accidently wear the trousers od a 'significantly' larger tourist, with the result that it's a job to keep decent. Eventually, after several months, we sighted our destination and tickets were allocated. Only one member was AWOL and so officers mounted a rear guard action and using the phone politley encouraged said member to reestablish contact:<br />"WHERE THE ********* **** are you you ******* *******!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!...he's turned his phone off!!...BY A PARK ?!...THATS WHERE WE ARE!!! UNDER THE ******* BIG ******** SIGN MUN!!!" after several minutes of this gentle persuation, said Warriors strolled over and started to buy programmes at which point it was politley mentioned that the teams had taken the field and the game was likley to have commenced. At last we headed into the ground, took a couple of wrong turns, said helo to the <a href="http://www.swanseagladiators.co.uk/">Gladiator</a> boys, strolling casually in, almost had a high speed collision with some Jocks going the other way and....got to the ground before the others!!!<br />Unfortuantley we were too early and the Welsh team hadn't turned up - and probaly won't for at least for another two years. If you want to theres a match report <a href="http://www.scrum.com/41_2467.php">YMA</a><br />Highlight of the match: covering Henry with a Welsh flag and....er.....watching Henry join in with the 20 something chicks in front of us when Scotland scored over another magnificent, fantastic, stupenderous super duper penalty!!!<br />mocked a swarm of Jed Forest kids on the way out and on the bus home to Hawick - went out - Henry gave us a farewell song (No 35541) about the beautuful border country (Obviously written before they had visited South Wales mun) before he disapeared over to see his friends from Bridgend.<br /><br />Over to Stampers/Imperial/Diesels for a quiet beer or two (Honest Mam) and bed to more or less end a successful tour of Scotland.<br /><br /><strong>Sunday</strong>: Comedy items and hat to breakfast and a very smooth journey home (although unfortunatley Louie did get on the bus) stopping to throw Owain and Gareth off.<br /><br /><strong>Tour awards:</strong><br />Top Dancer: Huw Jenkins; stage, podium, solo, with chicks, movment, still, whatever -Huw did it!<br />Top Drinker: Neil Parker; slow n steady all trip much to Al's discomfort.<br />The What not to Wear Award: Chris Bonar (Runners up anyone in a Kilt, esp Jumpin' John and his chilli willy)<br />Spirit of Christmas award for generosity: LEWIS JONES!!! what is it about being on tour and Louie which makes him buy people beer.<br />The Chicktastic stud award: Huw again<br />The Scottish tourist award for most food eaten: Huw again again (and he was still ready for more)<br />Man of the Match: Alan Taylor<br />Richard Hapus award for happiness: Richard Hapus<br />Best hat: Alan Stephens<br />Best Comedy item: John Horwood's Gwilym costume<br />The Where the hell's the water boy award: Chris Bonar<br />Best Pwdi/strop: Jonny Kerr (how dare you celebrate my birthday!)<br />Best sidestep: Phil Williams - on the bench again (just)<br /><br />STAR OF TOUR: Huw Jenkins</p><p align="left"><span style="color:#ffffff;">twelthseason</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.llanelliwarriors.co.uk</div>Llanelli Warriors match bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09150201147965875129noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19465043.post-1166790341141288252006-12-22T04:13:00.000-08:002008-10-27T06:45:26.501-07:00Steel Cash (Dec 06)<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6014/1660/1600/225040/STA70668.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6014/1660/320/324896/STA70668.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Left to right: D.S., D.S.

A 3 man delegation team of Roger Thomas (last season’s Captain), Gwilym Lewis (Coach/Sec) and Mathew Jones (Last minute sneaky replacement for Lee Rowlands) flew out on November 2nd. Of course their sacrifice was much appreciated by the rest of the club.<br /><br />A short account follows which I hope no one will take offence at:<br /><br />From when Billo picked Gwilym up at about 1:15am, still sorting out photos and packing the whole venture seemed a rush. We certainly didn't know much about anything at set off with a take it as it comes attitude. Almost lost the tickets and a bag before we'd even got to the airport, it was that type of trip. </div><div align="left">Fly basic but roomy <a href="http://www.olympicairlines.com/">Olympic airlines </a>to Athens. Wander around Athens wondering what we have got ourselves into, met by Tommy from host organisation Essepa and introduced to Lithuanian delegation(s) who on 1st impression all seem 7’ giant women, but eventually realise they are only 6’ something. Vasilis (also of Essepa) takes us to the <a href="http://www.exarchion.com/default.asp">hotel</a> (avoiding the riot police who have been 'sorting out' a demonstration. where half the group are staying, thoughts of swimming pools and gyms are sadly disgarded but we have plenty of time to chuck bags in room. Roger shares with Imal from Sweden. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The trip was a real blur and the 1st meal that night: 15 courses with 20 odd (well not odd but you know) people from 7 different countries was er interesting.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The days were long with ealry starts and late finnishes. We completly missed the Wales v Australia game, though thanks to Rhian and Claire for updates. With the group we did the usual and unusual "getting to know you games". Had to work in groups to design our own games, gave presentations about our organisations. [The Warriors was based on the S4C <a href="http://www.s4c.co.uk/hacio/c_index.shtml">Hacio</a> programme made during the 10th anniversary, so looked really proffesional (thanks Sian!). In fact so impressed were people that we were asked to present it to a wider audience later in the week.] Listen to various peole talk about intergration through sport, usually in Greek with various people translating. There were traditional Greek meals most afternoons (we got lost after the 1st one) and every evening. (Lots of salad, goats cheese, bread, and meats with really really sweet stuff for pwd. Everyone was prepared to give everything a go and the days, though long were very enjoyable. </div><div align="left">It wasn't all indoors either: we had a morning off to visit the Acroplois was fantastic (literally), we went to an adventure park with lots of tree top wire walks, went bowling (and got beaten by an Irish woman who had never been before) we caught a tiny bit of the Athens marathon, went shopping (all shops arranged in order so all the shoe/cd/computer/whatever) shops were on the same street. The traffic was mad and the pavements almost unusable, not only in crap conditions but full of parked cars. We held a meeting in the 'other' hotel which was bizzare as it's other occupants were all models. We met a really tidy guy from Canada who explained about Athens being a really good place to get a portfolio sorted but the money was crap. Sadam Hussain had just been sentenced and we stood and discussed politics with the beautiful people. (well, mainly tall and skinny people actually). Our Canadian friend and an Argentinian had both played rugby but I think we were a little lost to the others. we had a day of 'new' games which included touch rugby with an e**lish bloke called Bob. We didn't have a chance to visit any of the local rugby clubs Bob didn't know there were any!) which was a shame. Roger learnt that Expresso coffee comes in a cup Action Man<span style="font-size:78%;">tm </span><span style="font-size:100%;">would regard as small.</span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The nights started slowly. The 1st night it was Warriors only in the rock bar (plenty of them with real old skool denim & leather types), but slowly it grew, by the third night more came out than stayed in (and we slept late the next day) and the last night everyone made an apperance. The bars were all really smart 'cafe culture' big couches and background music but the bar we ended up frequenting kept asking us what we wnated to hear and plying us with free drinks. On the last night the Irish contigent were set to leave at 3 and we were going to slip off to bed before for a couple of hours before that as we had to go at 5:30am, well that never happened - straight through and brave the hangover!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Despite not being very well prepared and having to go with the flow the whole time we were there it was a great experience. We had a real taste of life in Athens, eating and drinking, travelling on buses, walking around the town center and outskirts and meeting plenty of locals. Even the unseasonal cold and getting ripped off by taxis was part of the fun. We had an insight into attitudes to people with learning difficulties accross Europe and were especially impressed by the Finish and Swedish projects and by almost all the people we met. Meeting people who have a learing difficulty who can speak better English than you is quite something (though to be fair we do live in Llanelli mun!). I'm afraid to say that perhaps the funniest thing though was Marios' phobia of dogs at the riding center. The Greek day center we visited was very impressive; clean, bright, airy, beautiful shop, impressive bakery etc and we picked up some ideas for the Warriors and day centers. Mostly though we met a load of cool friendly people and feel we now have small pockets of friends around Europe. The Swedish group expressed an interest in visiting the Warriors whilst plans have now been laid for an Irish tour in 2008.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The absolute best bit though was how impressed people really seemed to be with the Warriors. I think people forget just how few opportunities there are for people with learning difficulties to intergrate, not just through sport but at all. The Warriors (and other similar teams) are still as good an example of 'intergration through sport' as I've come accross, even after having visited Europe.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The Star carried this report (<a href="http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=161389&command=displayContent&sourceNode=161372&contentPK=16060892&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch">Cliciwch</a>)</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Billo lost his photos but Gwil took these:</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6014/1660/1600/670636/PB040002.jpg"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="DISPLAY: block;

He was named runner up in Carmarthenshire Sports Awards as Disabled Sportsman of the Year in 2000.<br /><br />Other records set/held by David:<br /><br />Most apperances in the backs<br />Conversions in a match/season/overall,<br />Most penalties in a match/season/overall,<br />Most drop goals in a match/season/overall.<br />Most points in a match/season.<br /><br />He made his debut in Burry Port kicking a single conversion at the tail end of the 97/98 season and his final game was back at the memorial field and another conversion in the 1st match of 2005/06. Unfortunatley he was forced to sit out the remainder of the season through injury and illness. Although typically he wouldn't fully accept it, medical advice was that his leg would never be good enough for rugby again and despite a defiant 'I'm only resting' Dai accepted a framed picture to mark his retirment at the club's presentation night in May. Having completed a sports leaders course he had already done some coaching and was looking to continue this. Dai was nick named 'Freebie' by the Llanelli/Scarlets players who often contriubted items to his excellent collection of training kit.<br /><br />David may have had a physical and learning difficulty but he never let this effect him and he lived life to the full. he didn't attend day centers or suchlike, but got stuck into life. he worked at Hafan y Coed nursing home and like all good young Welshmen was into beer, women and rugby. For those who have to work with terms like 'normalisation' Dai was the embodiment of it. he was out there in the mix, one of the boys. Anyone who knew him would tell you he could be (like many others) hard work at times but David was definatley one of the good guys.<br /><br />He played 19 times alongside his father and only let Mike outscore him once. He played touch and 7s for the Warriors and came on the club's 1st tours to Teignmouth and Southend. He was always up for a game and whenever he had to sub a half for the Warriors would immediatley see if the other team would let him play. Consequently as well as playing for the Warriors and LLanelli Hospital he also made cameos for Turnstyle XV, Burry Port, Cefneithin and more. he played 7s for Betws and despite coping some 'hospital' passess and the subsequent big hits finnished as their top scorer. he even kicked goals for Llanelli at Rupert Moon's testimonial. Dai had plenty of 'heart' and 'dog' when he played and perhaps his finest hour was at St. Helens against the Warriors big rivals the Swansea Gladiators. Challenge Shield matches were always tough away from home and the Warriors were a scratch side on the day. they played above themselves to make a game of it and despite the defeat were able to maintain pride. Dai did kick well but it was his tackling and attitude that stood out and he was named man of the match by the Gladiators team.<br /><br />Off field memories include him being sick in Betws (and Mike having to clean up), trying to muscle in on Chris Bonar's woman in Southend and in Cefneithin after some traditional hymn singing bringing the tone down with a loud chorus of 'Chariots'<br />He was the 1st Warrior to get yellow carded. A typical 'competetive' match against ASDA XV Rupert Moon made his much heralded ref debut and was reluctantly forced to send Dai from the field for continued handbags. Rupert decided from this incident that reffereeing wasn't for him.<br />He may be remembered as a kicking machine (having been coached by Frano Botica) but he also scored numerous tries. Mostly though he will be just remebered, whether it was shouting, pouting, dancing, drinking, fighting, singing, coaching, playing - Dai was out there doing it.<br /><br />His funeral was the biggest the presiding father had seen and included players and representatives from the Warriors, Gladiators, New Dock Stars, Cefneithin, Burry Port, Betws, Llanelli, Scarlets and more. His bearers were all Scarlets players and his flowers included a No15 Jersey and Welsh flag. His ashes were later spread on Stradey park where he spent so much of his life. the Warriors are curremtly arranging a memorial game and will be retireing the No15 jersey this coming season.<br /><br />Read more <a href="http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=161389&command=displayContent&sourceNode=161372&contentPK=14988722&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch">Here</a> and <a href="http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=161389&command=displayContent&sourceNode=161372&contentPK=15044589&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch">Here<br /></a><br />The following press cutting are from the Llanelli Star whilst the photos were taken over the 10 years David played for the Warriors.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/dai.0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block;

It eventually began in November, when on the eve of the Wales v New Zealand clash, the Warriors took on the Burry Port Classics. Although, as is almost traditional, the Warriors lost, it was a close game that they could have won. Further optimism was gained from the strong squad assembled and with a number of Warriors and ex Warriors on the Classics side it made for a very enjoyable game.<br />The 1st home game came against ‘Whales A’ and a good win was well deserved. The next two matches took place in the ever sunny but never warm Pontyberem. A creditable draw against the Club was recorded over the Christmas period and then Mynydd Cerrig veterans were edged out. This was excellent preparation for the season’s big event. The Saracens Brave Herts arrived as the first integrated side from England and the 1st time the Warriors had ever hosted a touring team. The Warriors secured the CMG cup and hopefully we have seen the birth of another Warriors tradition. The Saracens enjoyed their trip and are currently making waves in the english game. The Warriors followed this up by regaining the Challenge Shield for the 1st time in 5 attempts. It was done the hard way, away in Swansea and the headlines read world’s best as the Warriors laid claim to being the best Challenge rugby side. The fixtures against Penybanc and Cefneithin were predictably excellent with the Cefn club raising around £1000 on another legendary day (and night) out. The next fixture saw the Warriors return to Cardiff on international day. Although the match against Barry Barrians was narrowly lost the day was a resounding success. Another home match and another hard fought encounter, but against Scarletfever, the Warriors managed to come out on top. As well as raising the profile of the club considerably, it was perhaps the 1st time the opposition have been pleased with their performance despite losing. An excellent indicator of the respect the Club has gained. The final match before today was the run around in Betws prior to the Powergen Cup final, an enjoyable romp with the Warriors again victorious. Today’s final match sees the Warriors looking to complete an unbeaten season at home and to secure some very impressive statistics for the season.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;">eleventhseason</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.llanelliwarriors.co.uk</div>Llanelli Warriors match bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09150201147965875129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19465043.post-1148491924841977892006-05-24T10:31:00.000-07:002008-10-27T06:40:09.241-07:00The 3rd Golden Bolas: Presentation evening 2005/06<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="left"><br />Immediatley after the Warriors' 12th and final match of the 05/06 season players and supporters moved on to the Warriors new base: The Cambrian in Seaside for the annual presentation evening. The last minute nature of arrangments and the awful weather probaly put some off but the pub was crowded with expectant fans waiting to see who would win a coverted 'Golden Bola'<br /><br />Scarlets Prop Phil John, fresh from his man of the match performance against Ulster was guest of honour and gave out the various trophies;<br />There was a medal for all players to have made 3 or more apperances, pints for players who made their Warriors debuts this season and there should have been a t-shirt for Bloc but Pictons didn't have enough material in stock.<br />The 1st award was the greedy bastard award for top points scorer. Tony Whittaker came 3rd with 26 points (2 tries, 6 conversions and 1 penalties), last years winner Jon Kerr bagged 37 points (5 tries, 6 conversions) but Simon Jenkins regained his title with a grand total of 53 points (6 tries, 7 conversions and 3 penalties)<br /></div><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/53.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/53.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The nominations for Most Improved Player were: Jason 'Bloc' Bennett who under expert tuition from Betws coach Bolan learnt to put one leg further back than the other in the scrums. Gareth Mckibbon who returned to the rugby field after a lengthy lay off, David Edwards who brought more aggression to the front row (although a bit too much against Barry Barrians), Roger Thomas, whose rucking was a feature of the season and Tony Whittaker who continues to develop as a rugby player. David Edwards was eventually chosen.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/54.0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/54.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Sportsman of the year, awarded for spirit, conduct and effort saw Bloc, Paul JCB Davies, Mathew 'Billo' Jones and Chris Spriggs all nominated for their off field help in addition to an excellent attitude alongside Jumpin' John Horwood who (again) didn't miss a game and set a new club apperance record (114 and counting). Chris Spriggs was chosen as the eventual winner (possibly because of the morning field insepction he had carried out that day)<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/55.2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/55.2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Players' Player of the year was voted for by all players with 3+ apperances (who could be arsed) and polling significant numbers were Jason Jenkins, Jon Kerr, Meredith Pugh and Roger Thomas but the winner was Simon Jenkins.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/56.1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/56.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The next presentations were made to retiring players: David Spriggs and David Newson. Between them they had reset all scoring and apperance records, Captained the club 4 times and 10 awards. Both had been shortlisted for Carmarthenshire awards. In their honour the Warriors 'Hall of fame' was (finally) set up, check it out HERE<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/57.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/57.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/58.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/58.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Before player of the year was announced the Club represented itself with the two trophies it had picked up over the term. The Saracens Brave Herts became the 1st touring side to visit the Llanelli Warriors, but more than that they are the only 'Challenge' rugby side in england. Played on the weekend of the international the Warriors extra experience (it was the Saracens 2nd ever match) told and despite some rousing forward play from the visitors the Warriors triumphed (check it out HERE)The other trophy was the Challenge Shield, played for for over 10 years by the Swansea Gladiators and the Llanelli Warriors. The Warriors edged a hard fought encounter 7-5 (HERE for review) to win it for the 1st time in 5 attempts, thus denying the Jacks a new record. coupled with the win over the South Auckland Kiwis in June, it meant that the Warriors could justifiably claim to be : "Probaly the best Challenge rugby side in the world"<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/59.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/59.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Player of the year nominations were: Jason Jenkins whose accuracy at the lineout was a notable feature all season, Simon jenkins who stepped in Dai Newson's shoes as No8 and excelled. His all round game was good and the Warriors suffered when he wasn't available. Andrew John, the center was excellent in attack and defence throughout the season (scarletfever excepted) and formed effective partnerships with the various outside halfs and co centers he played with. Roger Thomas, as Captain led from the front. his tackling and rucking helped bring a physical edge to the Warriors pack and he improved the teams 'go forward' considerably. Tony Whittaker put in a number of strong running displays on the wing and on occasion his defence was also fantastic. There were plenty of candidates at the end of a successful season but these were the chosen few and in the end Roger Thomas was chosen for the ultimate honour.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/60.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/60.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Landlady Val reciveied a beautiful bunch of expensive flowers from the Warriors and a cheap little bottle of wine from the Cambrian team.

To be fair to the eared one, he turned up for every game despite our best efforts to abuse him and the Warriors wouldn't be the same without his smiling cherub face!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/1600/63.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6014/1660/320/63.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><br />The rest of the evening was spent worrying about work on Monday, promising to get fit for next season, arguing about who was the best player, discussing where tour should go etc. With work the next day looming large the only ones to get disgracefully drunk were Billo, Parker, Leslie and birthday girl Tracey.
